Join Us at the Grand National Roadster Show! January 27-29

We’re heading west after Barrett-Jackson to attend the 68th annual (!) Grand National Roadster Show! We usually only make it out west once a year for the annual Huntington Beach Cruise-In, but since our crew and truck are in Arizona the week before, we figured it would be fun to spend some time with the team at Edlebrock during the week and then hit the Grand National Roadster Show in Pomona, CA the following weekend.


The red all-steel ’33 Hot Rod and flame ’33 Hot Rod pictured above will be at the Grand National Roadster Show this coming weekend.

The All-Steel ’33 Hot Rod to Debut at Grand National Roadster Show

Factory Five is doing a live build at the Barrett-Jackson show of our new ’33 steel-bodied Hot Rod. Local SoCal painter Jeff “Da Bat” Miller (a.k.a. Batman) has done an exceptional job on the paint, and the assembled car will be shown at Pomona.

If you live in Southern California and you want to attend the Grand National Roadster Show with your Factory Five ’33 Hot Rod, we MAY have space at our outdoor display next to our truck. E-mail Mad Dog to find out if there is space.

Above & Below: The annual Huntington Beach Cruise-In always brings out some killer Factory Five rods. I think we’re ready to show off some serious Factory Five hardware at this year’s Grand National Roadster Show.

Note: We will also be bringing out our new Gen 3 Type 65 Coupe along with the steel-body ’33 Hot Rod. These cars will not be at the Huntington Beach Cruise-In. So if you live in southern California, this is your chance to see these two cars up close and personal.

Jim and Cecily T. Graduate Their Mk4 Roadster!

Congratulations to Jim. and Cecily T. from Heathsville, VA on graduating their Factory Five Mk4 Roadster build! They received their kit in April 2024. “I was in no rush since I planned on enjoying the build just as much as cruising in it.,” said Jim. “Goes back to my old drag racing days in the 70’s. Tinkering on that car was as much fun as racing it.” Jim’s plan for his Roadster build also included building up a 427 stroker engine as well as doing the paint as he saw it as an additional part of the build that he would enjoy… Read More »
